"This film deals with the congenital anomaly of Pectus Excavatum, which results in a deep depression of the chest. Scenes include: a young girl being examined by a doctor; having corrective surgery whereby the sternum is elevated into its proper position by the removal of bone and cartilage. A post-operative X-ray shows the success of the procedure, and the girl is able to lead a normal life."
